Why no vs CPU or Arcade mode?

[Toadofsky]

I don't have a stable enough connection for fighting games at home and I freaking love SF but without vs CPU or arcade mode there's really nothing I can do besides some VERY limited content. Will it be coming at a later date or, what? All I'm getting is a lot of "maybes" and "might be working on it". I thought single player was a no brainer for fighting games, but... damn, capcom really is commited to being the japanese EA.

The Arcade mode is coming in June but if you wanna fight the CPU like in Versus, just go into Training Mode and set up a CPU opponent, set all the gauges to normal and play like that :)

I mean, it's not like the information wasn't out there that SP would be really really limited at this stage :) You should read up on these things before buying, especially if it's that important for your experience.

Yeah, that's not exactly ideal is it? SFIV released with a pretty great single player right off the bat as well as vs CPU. This way I feel like I'm "making due" and it's unnaceptable.

Thank you for the info, got any links? If that's the case I'll just wait until june to get my copy.

It's a damn shame that the trend of releasing broken, unfinished games is becoming so widespread. Even worse with people excusing and defending the practice.

They never said a word if they even plan to add arcade mode. In June cinematic story is supposed to be added, and I guess it will be locked to easy too. The only way to play against CPU outside horrible prologues and survival is training mode.

Not everyone scrolls through dozens of webpages to the get the full scope of a games release. Some people expect a AAA studio like capcom, with one of their longest standing franchises to launch with a game that's fully realized. Yes in the age of endless dlc, we might not get EVERYTHING at launch. But dropping a game like Street Fighter that feels like it's only half way done is kind of disappointing. Not to mention, what was released has been pounded into the ground with poor performance on all levels.

Because capcom is now ran by morons who think the only hard core gamers are those who deep throat on multiplayer.

Capcom is in mess, that's the answer. They have 2600 employees and they haven't shipped currentgen game until now. And they weren't doing that well prior to PS4 launch either.

Aren't they technically still doing bad? What happened to that rumored Devil May Cry 5 that was in production, the wwind swept it away or something?

There were rumors few years ago that they were looking to sell the company. Perhaps Sony bailed them out. They are not doing well probably and I think they released unfinished game just so earn quick money to develop more stuff like story mode. Those ridiculous bengus stillshots look like someone ordered to color some storyboard production sketches.

You can train against CPU in training. You can set the difficulty too.

Thats not a proper mode man, thats like playing driver cause your poor and pretending its gta by pissing cops off and trying to have exciting car chases lol.

Not a proper arcade mode, it lacks Single player content.

I assumed that was the same thing. If that's not the case then my mistake.

It's cinematic stuff a-la modern MK story mode. And what the point of making if it's not on launch when it's needed the most to get casuals money.

I'm genuinely happy to know I'm not the only one baffled by this "creative decision". And it's a damn shame if they opt to not support the players who don't have a constant reliable internet connection at all times.

And again, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, how do you NOT include a single player? I've been a part of a local SF community for years who, despite playing online whenever their connections allowed it, we'd mostly stick to single player to just zone out and chill.

Capcom did one thing right with porting Dragon's Dogma and the older resi games to the PC but... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if they aren't keen on taking those very big steps back shortly after. This pretty much made SFV not worth buying for me until they include it. Which they might even not in the end.

First of all you just couldve waited and looked for the reviews as capcom is focusing on the pros at the moment because evo is coming in june i think and the pro players cant learn the game that fast but matches against the cpu are coming

[RamenShuriken]

they released the game early so the pros could play it and be ready before evo and capcom cup. the full release was supposed to between march and june. so yeah they havent got everything finished yet? or would you rather them release more stuff all unfinished or just release the finished stuff that works perfectly fine in time so those who are early adopters and pick the game up early on release can actually play the game and get the experience they need, if you arnt in this for the multiplayer and just want to play single player whats the rush? wait for the cenimatic story mode and everything else which will be here in june.
